THE COLONY...In the wake of nuclear holocaust, a group of survivors banded together in the nightmare world left to them. An army of soldiers patterned after the guard of ancient Sparta was the one force that could protect them from a planet gone berserk. THE KINGS...The Spartans chose as their leaders two men who swore to preserve order. Peace reigned in the colony until one king tried to force his will on the people and a civil war broke out that threatened to obliterate Sparta. SPARTAN RUN...Into the midst of this conflict stormed Blade and the Warriors, only to be struck down by a fighting force more fierce than any they had ever encountered. But Blade and his men had no choice-they had to end Sparta's war. For if they failed, it might spark another world war that would leave no survivors.
